About: Shanna Marie Wilson (Shanna)

My name is Shanna Wilson and I was born in Houston, TX and I have lived here all my life. I am an only child and I fell in love with movies at a young age. The first movies I can remember watching over and over again were The Muppet Movie, The Apple Dumpling Gang, and Bed-knobs and Broomsticks. I am a daughter of a die hard Trekkie (he says Trekker) and science fiction fan and some of my earliest memories are of watching Captain Kirk and Spock on the big screen. I enjoy all different genres of movies and some of my favorites are Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek, almost every Pixar movie, just about everything Tim Burton does, and so many others it would take an eternity to list them all. I am a huge fan and advocate of stop-motion animation films like Coraline and Corpse Bride. I also love old movies and musicals and I enjoy writing about those as well. It is thrilling to know I will get the chance to explore these favorites and add some new ones to the list through this blog.
In high school I worked for Loews and Sony Theaters my junior and senior year. In college I worked for Blockbuster Video for about four years and had a blast working around movies again. I started writing movie reviews recently and I have enjoyed writing and learning all about one of my favorite things. I am very close to both of my parents and our beloved pets (Josie the miniature dachshund and Sydney the cockatiel). I love spending time on the computer, shopping with my mom, and going to the movie theater with my dad. I collect movie memorabilia including autographed 8x10s of my favorite actors and actresses. Along with movies, I also like to learn about the world around me especially history, different cultures, and wildlife. I am looking forward to communicating with other film critics and fans. I really take pleasure in sharing my love of the silver screen with other people. Please feel free to drop me a line, I would love to correspond with you.
